I think we also need that put_device() after getting the regmap because
we loose the reference to the platform device after that.

On the other hand, I suppose we might have to hang on to the reference
until tegra210_xusb_padctl_remove() so that the platform device that the
regmap is provided by doesn't suddenly go away.

Mark, I couldn't find how the lifetime of regmaps is getting tracked.
dev_get_regmap() seems to only return a pointer to the regmap if it
exists, but doesn't actually increment a reference or anything. So do we
need to hold on to the struct device that we get it from until we no
longer need the reference? Or is there some other way to make sure the
regmap doesn't disappear on us?
